Lets Get Loud!!

LOUD
After the situation with Chris Brown Rihannas music just wasnt appealing to me anymore, maybe because I liked Chris Brown so much. Aside from that I wondered where her career would go after all the negative media attention her past relationship caused. Her fifth album dropped November 16th and was entitled Loud which is what the beats and tempos of most the songs were. Collaborations with Eminem, Nicki Minaj and Drake are sure to put her songs in heavy rotation on the charts. With title tracks like S and M which show her "freaky side" to Fading which shows how she grows tired of a person to Raining Men which features Nicki Minaj which shows that they are not worried about a guy, its to many of them. I can listen to this Cd from track one to the last track.

Its Pink Friday



Hey blog family it has been a while, too long to be exact, but breaks are over and the week of finals are upon us. The semester has come and go and so has the year. This semester hasn't been easy but my music has helped when it came to getting through the day. Im sure everyone is familiar with the pink wig, very animated "barbie" by the name of Nicki Minaj who has taken the rap game by storm. Her first album entitled Pink Friday dropped in November and has taken the record by the most albums sold by a female in ten years. Switching accents, hair colors and musical styles the album is not what i expected, I thought she would screaming in her usual rants and facial expressions that matched but I was surprised to see that she does do any of that at all. Very nice selection of songs and her lyrics have meaning. My personal Favorites are Fly ft Rihanna, save me, and Moment for Life. Be sure to check them out.

Rick Ross Reponses to Latest Grammy Snub


Although he's been passed over for the second consecutive year by the Grammys, Rick Ross is taking his latest snub in stride.



The outstanding lyricist was excluded from this years nominations, despite the success of the certified-gold release Teflon Don and street smashes like Blowing Money Fast and MC Hammer. When MTV News caught up with Ross at Power 106's Christmas Party he made known that he had no beef with the recording academy. He gave props to his peers who received nods. Despite being overlooked for the second year, Ross shrugged off the issue saying that winning a trophy is another goal he can focus on.
"As far as me, I feel like it's something else for me to work towards," Ross add.

As far as nominations goes, I understand where Ross is coming from. I'm not a big fan of Ross because I've heard better rappers, but that's just my opinion. Although, he's not terrible and other people like him. As a hard working individual and rapper, he should at least be nominated for an award whether he wins or doesn't win.

cHrIs BrOwN & BoW wOw RoCk THANKSGIVING CoNcErT iN ATLANTA!


Another Holiday is approaching and celebrities are celebrating to lift the holiday spirit of their fans. On Tuesday, Chris Brown and Bow Wow performed a free concert in Atlanta to start the holiday festivities. Chris Brown, fresh from head to toe, in his grey tailored suit with pearly white kicks, performed his single off his Graffiti album, "I Can Transform Ya." He danced, he sang, giving his fans the show of a liftime; just what they needed to celebrate the THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY. Also, in attendance, to lift the spirit of beloved hip hop fans was Bow Wow. The Young Money MC too rocked the house as he perfomed along side Chris Breezy as they performed, "Shorty Like Mine." Chris Brown asked Bow Wow to perform with him and Bow Wow immediately said yes with no hesitation. "It was only right that I came out to support my homie Breezy, and besides It's for a good cause," Bow Wow said. Chris Brown ended the night with a public annoucement; "I'm putting out a lot of singles so everything is coming together. I'm working on a new album entitled, "Fame" so be looking that release real soon."


It truly is good to see artists such as Chris Brown, one of my favorite artists, and Bow Wow giving back to the community. This a was a free concert and was enjoyed by all who were in attendance.

Do you think they did this out of the kindness of their hearts or they were forced to do it by their producers or managers to create public image for themselves?

Nicki Minaj Opens Up about Grandmother Who Raised Her


The world renowned female hip hop artist from Trinidad, Nicki Minaj, was interviewed for a forthcoming MTV News Documentary, "My Time Now," which will be aired Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 10 p.m. on MTV. The room flooded with tears when the young hip hop diva was asked about her grandmother who raised her before she emigrated to America. Minaj struggles to maintain her game face as she says her grandmother would be so proud of her achievements and the beautiful woman she has become. As a child in Trinidad many parents have no choice but to separate from their children due to work or other circumstances. Her parents moved to New York leaving her behind with her grandmother. When she was old enough to leave she too went to New York. She moved in with her parents and found out they were having serious domestic issues. Her parents constantly argued. She recalls her dad initiating most of the arguements. She later revealed that her father was a crack addict. In the film, cameras document Minaj's return to Trinidad for the first time in seven years after becoming a successful female rapper. When she reconnected with her family she took them on the adventure of a life time, lavishing her loved ones with shopping sprees and other gifts. She gives her grandmother all the credit and thanks for molding her to the woman she is today in her parents absence.
This is truly a touching story. Most artist have a hard time sharing personal information such as this or they choose to just keep it to themselves. We truly commend Ms. Minaj for sharing this information with the world. She is a strong black woman and the sky is the limit for her. She will truly continue to prosper in her career and I will continue to admire her beauty and lyrical talent.

dRaKe DeNiEs GeTtInG pUnChEd By LiL wAyNe


After Lil Wayne and Drakes reunion on Saturday reports have show that there is drama in the Young Money Camp. However on Friday Drizzy shot down rumors that he got in any altercation with Wayne.
Drake annouces, "Wayne punched me in the arm because he saw a VW beetle pass by," Drake tweeted, joking about bordem road-trip game punch buggy.
This article is too funny to me. It is funny how the media will take a story and make it seem everything it is not. These two artist are at the top of their industry of course they may compete for the top position but they will never physically fight

As Usual..... ITS A RUMOR!!!

Hey blog family. Last week i blogged about Beyonce being pregnant and that this time it was truthful. Well according to her husband Jay Z. He told Australia's Daily Telegraph "It's not gonna happen, just shooting down the rumors before they start." He goes on to say that "this is the fifth time, and that they need to find a new subject and stop giving this same rumor relevance." Beyonce's mom also appeared on a talk show and shot down the rumors also. Seems to me that the world is just wishing for an addition to Beyonce's and Jay's family so they speculate and start the pregnancy rumor, but in the words of her husband, "It's not gonna happen."

Beyonce Is Pregnant!!

Hi blog family, decided to get a quick post in before class. So the rumor mill has been buzzing lately in the entertainment world, Jay Z and Beyonce, one of entertainments favorite couple have always been placed at the forefront of rumore of marriage and pregnancy. They began dating in 2002 while working on hit single Bonnie and Clyde. While both have been out of the spotlight lately, especially when on the music scene, breaking news dropped today that they are expecting their first child together. Beyonce is said to be very surprised but pleased about it. She goes on to say that she wasn't ready to become a mother just yet because she wanted to finish her album and tour the world one last time. Beyonce is 29 years old and one of my favorite singers and performers, creater of Diva, Single Ladies, Smash into You , just to name a few of my favs. Her and Jay Z are one of my favorite couples and I am happy for them and the pregnancy. Reports say she is 3 months into her pregnancy and they both are looking forward to parent hood. Good job Beyonce and Jay Z!!

"Celeb Love"


Whats up Blog Fam! It has definitely been a minute. Midterms will have you a stranger to the world. Anywho, its time to get down to the dish! Who defines when you can fall in love with someone? Is believing in love at first sight unrealistic? I think that your heart should make the decision, not friends or family members, but you! You are the one who has to love that person until death seperates you. There has been so much controversy over the recent announcement of R&B diva Monica and Shannon Brown of the L.A Lakers engagement. After, what seems to the public eye only a four month relationship sparked by an onscreen relationship they had in Monica's "Love All Over Me" video. After, Monica's stylist posted a picture of her engagement ring. Monica tweeted this: "We realize that people will have their opinions. That's the way of the world. But we know who we are and whose we are. We pray to an awesome God 2gether and that's what keeps us strong. So for all my real supporters, who are happy for me, I thank you I love you, and I am realistic enough about life To know that my journey has just begun. I don't have anything else to say about it. 2 people who judge, If you worked on self you wouldn't see me." Well I guess Monica cleared that all up. I love to see people in love and happy! So congrats to Mo and Shannon on their engagement.

"Whip My Hair"



What's up my blog family?  Midterms were a headache and I've been away from the blog scene but I'm back with R&B newcomer Willow Smith.The nine year old daughter of very famous actor and actress Will and Jada Smith, this little girl was bound to at least try the celebrity world right? Well when i first caught wind of her having a single out I was thinking to myself another child being pushed into the spot light but with this nine year old that was definitely not the case. Coming off as a very determined and independent nine year old, Willow describes the song as "not being afraid to be yourself, and not let anyone tell you its wrong." So after giving the song a listen I was sold! As a woman 'whipping" your hair is like a right of passage I'll say, so to have a nice up beat song with a catchy chorus I don't see how Willow can go wrong. She is signed by Jay Z and the song is in heavy rotation. The nine year old will be celebrating her birthday on Halloween and I dont see a better way to began by debuting her video on music channels such as BET and MTV. Give the song a listen, hope you like, its blasting in my room as i blog.
until next time, as Willow says in the song "it don't matter if its long or short Whip Your Hair" to let the negative people know you are not afraid to be simply you!

"Cant Be Friends"

Im sure we all have that friend of the opposite sex that even though they are such a good friend, they have the quality of being so much more. Sometimes taking that risk can be a good or bad thing, and I think Trey Songz worded it perfectly in one of his songs off his new album entitled Cant Be Friends. He decribes how even though they both think about each other after the things that have taken place they could never be just friends. I can relate to this song personally but it didnt end in a bad way for me we are friends just leaning towards more. I think you all will like the song so I tried to add the link so you all can give it a listen if you already haven't but I'm not very good with adding links but the video is on youtube, and the nice picture of the very handsome Trey Songz also makes it just a little more enticing for the females looking at this post.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Which "Jersey Shore" Girl Totally Rejected Diddy






According to Life and Styles, "Scene Queens," hip hop mogul Diddy approaches Sammi "Sweetheart" outside a Fashion Week event dropping lines like, "I've been thinking about you and I've been thinking about licking you all over."


Jersey girls immediately turns him down becasue she only has eyes for sorta/kinda/maybe boyfriend Ronnie Magro.
P. Diddy has always been one of my favorite celebrities because of how he handles business. He is an ideal businessman. I don't care for his music though. Sometimes I just wish my guy would just retire the mic because it's not working for him.
I think Diddy could have came at her better. Has Fonzworth Bentley not taught him anything. You don't approach any woman by saying, "I've been thinking about licking you all over." If I had heard that myself I probably would have slapped Diddy. But if he had came at her correctly she should have gave him a chance. She has a better chance with him than sorta/kinda/maybe boyfriend Ronnie. He probably doesn't even want her.

Bishop Being Sued!!!!!

Bishop Eddie Long is being allegedly sued for misusing his spiritual authority to engage in sexual acts with young boys. The complaints claim that Bishop Long gave them jewelry, cars, money, international and national trips, and unlimited access to celebrities in exchange for sexual favors. He mentored a group of young men called the "Spiritual Sons" where the induction ceremony was a private "session" with the entering young man and Long. Now we have heard of plenty of pastors misusing their authority to get what they want, but really sex from young boys? I truly hope this comes out to be a scandal for money, because if not, the christian church as a whole is in big trouble.

Only the parties involved know what really happened and the truth of the matter, but so many questions come to mind. What would you do if your pastor was accused of this? What happens to your faith? Does your attitude change about God or just the pastor? Do you forgive and continue to be lead by such a man? Should he loose his church?

Is Black Leadership Dead?

http://ebonyjet.com/politics/national/index.aspx?id=17556

Okay people I know this is iheartmusicENT and we're supposed to be providing the latest newest in the hip hop and entertainment world but I found this article and thought it was QUITE INTERESTING!!!

THE BIG QUESTION IN THIS ARTICLE:
Is it true that Black America waited far too long for another Martin Luther King Jr?



In my opinion, I do believe we have waited entirely too long for another Martin Luther King, but not only him, we have also waited too long for another Malcolme X and Jesse Jackson and a lot of others. Its not that these black leaders aren't out there because they are. They just dont have it set in their minds that they are ready for the challenge.



What do you think about black leadership in todays society?

What can we do as blacks to overcome this?

How can we help our true leaders reach the top of their peak?

"Lets have a Toast For The Douchebags"

Let's have a toast for the douche bags!
Let's have a toast for the a--holes!
Let's have a toast for the scumbags!
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk-offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can

This is the chorus to the new song by kanye west titled "runaway". just reading the lyrics it makes you think what has the very "different" artist done this time. but when u actually listen to it i think he is sayin that he always finds faults in his self...
"And I always find, yeah, I always find something wrong
You been putting up with my sh-- just way too long
I'm so gifted at finding what I don't like the most
So I think its time for us to have a toast"


he performed it at the 2010 mtv video music awards which is ironic and rather funny to me the same place he humilated taylor swift who performed before him a song titled forgiveness. I think Kanye is sayin he doesnt want forgiveness he knows he is an arrogant jack--- and is proud of it. i like the song, kanye is always doing something different.

Fantasia Burrino " Collard Greens and Cornbread"
